It's October!

It's officially October. 
This month I turn 30!  30!!
THIRTY!!!

I know, I know, its really not that old in the grand scheme of things.  And I'm really not struggling with this milestone in terms of me aging. Mostly it just has me reflecting on how fast time really flys by. My kids are almost 3! I'm turning 30! I'm worried if I blink, they will be 18 & gone. Thats what makes getting older seem scary.... time is such a fleeting thing. 

So while, yes, it is "just 30," its a pretty solid milestone none the less.  We tend to reflect pretty hard on those decade crossing years & at 20 you just are more excited about turning almost 21 than reflecting on much of anything.  So 30 is really the first "big one."  The first time you sit back & think "Am I where I expected I would be at 30?"  "Am I where I want to be at 30?"  "Where exactly am I really?"

Well, I can tell you honestly I never expected I would be where I am.  Who ever expects they will have triplets?  Ever?  No.One.  Even 6 months ago I wouldn't of belived you if you would have told me where I would be living.  Life has grander plans for us than we can even dream up.  And while I have yet to hit that big lotto & pay off all my debt, so I can work just on occasion, just for fun, not necessity & spend every moment I wish with my family & friends....outside of that, I would have to say at 30, I would rather be no where else.  My 3 decades of life have blessed me pretty immensely & taught me a lot.  My brain can't even wrap itself around the idea of how much the next 3 decades could possiby hold.  So as far as where exactly I really am?  I am here.  And beyond that, it doesn't really matter much.... because I'm exactly where I am supposed to be. 

And today, I was supposed to be welcoming October.  Embracing growing & changing.  And making memories to last a lifetime.  Or at least making some Halloween T-shirts that will fit my kids for at least a few months ;)

 Candy corn feet!!

 Ok so 2 out of 3 enjoying this activity isn't bad, right?  He was so not a fan of paint on his feet.

 Look at the size difference between Hayden & Olivia's feet!!!

 Some Cricut stencils to help me write with the paint...

And there you have it!!!

So bring it on 30!  Show me what you got.  I am here, right where I am supposed to be.  And I am eager & excited to see what this decade to come can show me & how it can make me grow. 

In the meanwhile, I will be childishly enjoying every minute of saying I am "29!"
